"Der eiserne Pfad", in Israel bereits 1992 erschienen, ist durch seine schmucklose, doch zart poetische Sprache, durch die Klarheit der Form und durch die Souveränität, mit der der Autor sein Material bearbeitet, ein zeitloses literarisches Dokument. Priser
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK How does one live after surviving injustice? What satisfaction comes from revenge? Can the past ever be left behind? Masterfully composed and imbued with extraordinary feeling and understanding, The Iron Tracks is a riveting tale of survival and revenge by the writer whom Irving Howe called "one of the best novelists alive today." Ever since he was released from a concentration camp forty years earlier, Erwin Siegelbaum has been obsessively riding the trains of postwar Austria. His days are filled with drink, his nights with brief love affairs and the torments of his nightmares. What keeps him sane is his mission to collect the menorahs, kiddush cups, and holy books that have survived their vanished owners. And the hope that one day he will find the Nazi officer who murdered his parents--and have the strength to kill him. A haunting exploration of one survivor's complex, wrenching, inner world, The Iron Tracks is distinguished by the depth of insight and the distinctively stark, elegant style that have won Aharon Appelfeld recognition as one of the world's great writers.

As we begin The Iron Tracks, time and place have moved forward four decades. As he travels closer to specific cities and towns on the train, he reflects on his life, remembering past years in those specific places. Time stands still, momentarily as he remembers the women he lusted with, the men he made small talk with, and those who he finds a sense of frienship with.
haron Appelfeld has a story to tell, and he tells it with magnificent prose and imagery. The emotional impact is not light and airy, but one that is depressing and disturbing. It is an intense study in one man’s thought process, emotions (or lack of), inner conflicts/world and passions. It is a study on displacement of the heart and mind. I recommend The Iron Tracks to everyone. ( )
